In this matter a petition was presented by a Mr. Gold ney and several other persons connected with the town of Chippenham, praying for leave to go before the Master with a list of persons qualified to act as trustees of these chari ties, which had hitherto been managed by the Corporation. Another petition was subsequently presented by the present mayor and burgesses, in which there was a list of persons also recommended for trustees. Both petitions were in the usual manner referred to the Master, who approved of the whole of the persons named on the list presented by the first petitioner, Mr. Goldney, but selected no names from the second list, and even expressed his disapprobation of the double proceedings. Mr. Commissioner Dußois, after a short censultation with the Jury, indignantly dismissed the case. THE LOVES OF THE BRICKMAKERS.--The Court yes terday was thronged with brickmakers, several of whom had summoned their employers for moneys alleged to have been stopped out of their wages.

CAUTION.—The numerous attempts made to impose spurious articles of Brandy on the Public, as 1 3ETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, will be, in a great measure, de feated by observing the following points : First—That the Patentees are Distillers. Secondly—That their only Establishment is the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield Bars, leading to St. John-street. Thirdly —That Brandy is the only article which they manufacture. Fourthly —That, as Distillers, they cannot send out smaller qualities than Two Gallons. Fifthly—That the Patent Brandy, is the only spirit which, upon analization by eminent Chemists, has been declared even more pure than the finest samples of French Brandy ; and Lastly—That it is the only Spirit recommended by the Faculty, in Preference to the Foreign, for Medical purposes. J. T. BETTS and Co., therefore, need only assure the public that their Brandy remains of the same high standard in quality Which has secured for it that demand which, at the present time, exists to an unprecedented extent. The Patent Brandy, tvhich is of the highest legal strength, may be had, either pale or coloured , at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, for Cash on delivery. ,.

RODIGI S !-ANOTHER NEW KING ! It happened, one day, as I stroll'd through the Strand, At Warren's fam'd Warehouse I came to a stand, Where batteries of Blacking were pil'd on the ground, Sufficient to polish this planet all round. I've travell'd by day and I've rambled by night, But I never beheld such a glorious sighi ; 'Twere injustice this wonder mere Blacking to call, For it shone through the bottle, cork, label, and all. Lucky Warren! thought I, in the time of King James They had tried you for witchcraft; and, doom's to the flames, Your Magic Black Art had excited such ire, That you quickly had found "all your fat in the fire."

FOLLETT stated that this was an action which the plaintiff, a surgeon at Margate, and his wife had been compelled to bring against the defendant for an injury of the most serious, annoying, and painful character that could be conceived. It was for the publication of a libel upon the•wife, a libel for which, at this moment, no justification had been, none could be, offered. Mr. Waddington was a widower, and by his first wife he had four childoen. She had been dead some time, and in the course of last year he married a Miss Rennell. She did not move in the society to which he had been accustomed, she was the daughter of a pilot at Margate, but her character was unimpeachable, and she possessed personal charms which had fixed the at tention of the plaintiff. In consequence of this marriage letters were addressed to him and to his partner on the subject, and the writer proceeded with a boldness which seemed to imply that no fear was felt that Mr. Wad dington would institute these proceedings. There was a club in the town of Margate, of which a person named Boyce was a member. Shortly before the receipt of the letter which was the subject of this action an altercation took place between the plaintiff and this Mr. Boyce, and the plaintiff inflicted on him a personal chastisement. This occurred in January. In the latter part of that month, or in the beginning of February, the letters before referred to were received. One was addressed to the plaintiff' him self, the other to Mr. Potter, his partner. In respect of the first no action of this sort could be maintained. This case, therefore, rested on the letter addressed to Mr. Pot ter. It was couched in the form of questions, conveying the most offensive imputations, and the answer to each of these questions was, " Ask Mr. W." (The Learned Coun sel here read the letter, the questions contained in which were most disgustingly obscene and vulgar.) The letter concluded by imputing it to the plaintiff that he prostituted his amiable and lovely children by submitting them to the care and controul of such a woman. The Learned Coun sel continued--These were the imputations which the writer had dared to throw on the characters of Mr. and Mrs. Waddington, and they were all, without exception, utterly devoid of foundation. The letter was written in a dis guised hand, but not so disguised but that the resemblance of it could be traced to the writing of a person in the town. That person was the present defendant. She was the sister in-law of Mr. Boyce, and was living in his house at the time the libel was published. After hearing the evidence, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 5001. CONSISTORY COURT, DEC. 19. WILLIAMS V. WILLIAMS. This was a suit for divorce on the grounds of adultery, promoted by Maria Theresa Williams against Henry Wil liams, her husband. The particulars of the case have been fully given. An allegation on the part of Mr. Williams was now offered. The Learned Judge, having stated a few reformations which were necessary, admitted the al legation. GREENIIILL V. GREENHILL. This was originally a suit for divorce, on the grounds of adultery, promoted by Mrs. Greenhill against her husband, when sentence was given in favour of the promoter of the suit ; 3001. per annum had been allotted as alimony, pen dente lite, and 3501. as permanent alimony ; but in conse quence of Mr. Greenhill avoiding the process of the Court the monition by ways and means which had been issued was not able to be served upon him. An act on petition was now offered on behalf of Mrs. Greenhill, to enable her to obtain the amount of alimony which was due, and pray ing that Mrs. Greenhill's property should be sequestered to pay the amount. Dr. ADDAMS, for Mr. Greenhill, was of opinion that the Court would not grant the prayer of the petition. The KING'S ADVOCATE appeared on behalf of Mrs. Greenhill. The Learned JUDGE recapitulated the circumstances of the case, and wished to refer to the recent statute of William IV. before he gave his judgment in this question, which, for the purpose of aiding the jurisdiction of this Court, in consequence of husbend's absconding to avoid the process of this Court, allowed their property to be seized upon. When the KING'S ADVOCATE had read the section mentioned, The Learned JUDGE, bad no hesitation in pronouncing Mr. Greenhill in contempt, but he would not take this step till the next Court day, and after that the usual course with respect to the sequestration might be pursued. CAMERON V. CAMERON. This is a suit for divorce, promoted by the husband against the wife. Dr. CURTIS, on behalf of Mrs. Cameron, was about to state the particulars of the case, when he was interrupted by The Learned JUDGE, who, being perfectly satisfied of her guilt, pronounced sentence as prayed for. MIDDLESEX COUNTY COURT, KINGS GATE- S TREE T.—DEC. 19. •WORELDINE v. MORTINIER.-A remarkably soft-looking man, about the age of 30, or at all events of sufficient age to know better, of the name of William Woreldine, sum moned the Rev. Thomas Mortimer, the celebrated preacher of St. Mark's Church, Islington, for the sum of 11., alleged to be due under the following circumstances : Plaintiff stated that having received a liberal education, and wishing to turn his talents to account, he had published an " Essay on Elocution," and which issued from the press at 2s. per copy. The Reverend defendant had become liable for ten copies, and as the debt had been standing for three years, he had applied repeatedly for the money, but without avail. Mr. Commissioner Durso's—Really this is the most im probable statement I ever heard. Pray what are you, Sir ? Plaintiff —A general author, Sir ; and I can assure you my Essay on Elocution had a good run.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—Had it ? flow does it happen, pray, that yoe slept over this matter so long? Why did'nt you summon the defendant before this ? Plaintiff—Because, Sir, I have been too much engaged in my studies. I am competent to give lessons in elocution if the public would appreciate my humble talents.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER-But, my good fellow, you have a sad ' impediment of speech now. Plaintiff—So had Demosthenes, Sir.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER-Oh, then, it may be nothing but r;glit that you have an• impediment also. Now, Mr. Mortimer, will you be good enough to explain this matter ? The Rev. Defendant said the real facts of the case were these :—Some years ago, at the conclusion of Divine Ser vice in the Church of St. Mark's, the plaintiff followed him into the vestry-room, and, after stating himself to be in great distress, produced a copy of an Essay on Elocution, and begged of him to purchase it, and also to recommend the work to h!s Mends. Anxious to serve a fellow-being, he 'inquired if plaintiff could give any reference as to the truth of his statement. Plaintiff gave a reference, and he (the Rev. T. Mortimer) made inquiries, and was sorry to find that they were anything but satisfactory. Of this he ap prised the plaintiff, and the matter appeared to be dropped; The brickmakin g gentry looked as if they would like to catch the Learned Commissioner in a brickfield, and one of them muttered something about a marm-pond as they slowly quitted the Court. THE RIVAL SCHOOLMASTERS. John Riley, a little pedagogue, with a beard about a foot long, and a skin al together guiltless of soap and water, was summoned by a long lank shotten-herring scrt of person, hight Peter Wil kins, for the sum of 10s., money lent. 'COBIMISSIONER—How will you pay this, John Riley ? Defendant—Pay, Sir —no, never, Sir. I'm a hinjered man—my feelings has received a blow from this here man that I'm sure I sharn't never get over it ;--Sir, he's wil lified and terduced me, and he's took away one of my best scholars.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—Why, what are you, Mr. Riley ? De fendant—l larns boys to read and write, and tork Latin and Cypher ; and now Wilkins has set up against me, and got away one of my wery best scholards. Plaintiff—Aye, my Lord, its meeself that'll have all on 'in ; he tache, indade ! Och, mighty fine! I'll not rest 'till I have ivery mother's son of 'cm away ! Defendant—Hear him now, gentlemen, there's a Brutem fulmen !—( Laughter.) Plaintiff—lt's well for you, my fine gentleman, that you'r under his Lordship's presence, or I'd be after taching you how to call meeself a Bruteinfurem, ye dirty baste, you.— (Roars of laughter.) COMMISSIONER—ReaIIy, you are both very learned The bans. How came you to lend this ten shillings, Mr. Wil kins ? Defendant—Ounly in regard of being dthrunk, and not at all knowing what meeself did, but I'll swear on the big book I lint him the money.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—No doubt you're ready to do that, but as you seem to know so much about it, we shan't trouble you to take any oath, the case is dismissed. Defendant—Thank you, Gentlemen, thank you ; oh, he's a hungrateful feller, and I'll expose him, that I will, that I will. I'll git him pinted at, and every body shall say " hie niger est," and more than— Plaintiff—Mark me, now, spalpeen, not contint with batein me out of me money, you first call me a Br u tem, and I now you call me a " nigger," you'l git a bateing for that same, och, bad luck to that little old carcase. BRENTFORD PETTY SESSIONS. Yesterday a thick-s2t Irishman, about twenty-four years of age, with a most ferocious countenance, named John Ryan, was brought heavily handcuffed before Mr. Pow- NALL, the sitting magistrate, by police sergeant Pascoe, T 19, on the following charge of attempted highway robbery and murder : Mr. Thomas Jackson, of Rathbone-place, OXfOrdstreet, and Haven Green, Ealing, between six and seven o'clock on Saturday evening, was driving in his pheaton from Eal ing towards London. On arriving at Acton Bottom he ob served the prisoner at some distance going towards town, and from his conduct on the road his suspicions that he meant no good were excited. When he came near him the prisoner crossed from the off side to the near side of the road, and when he came up to him he made a dash at his horse's head, which, however, he missed. The prisoner then made an at tempt to get in at the side of the phaeton, but not succeeding from the speed at which witness was going he tried to lay bold of the back of the vehicle, in which he was also un successful. Witness then flogged his horse, which gallopped for about three hundred yards, when, thinking he had got away from his assailant, he slacked his pace. The prisoner, however, who must have pursued him with the fleetness of a deer, soon overtook him, and, jumping up behind the phaeton, seized hold of witness by the back of his coat, and attempted to drag him out of the vehicle. Witness instantly pulled out a pistol, which be thrust into the pri soner's face, saying, " You vagabond, if you don't get down, I'll shoot you." Witness attempted to discharge the pistol, but no cap being on, it was unable to do so. The prisoner did not get down, and a fearful struggle took place between them, when witness finding the prisoner too powerful for him to cope with, suddenly struck him a severe blow on the head with the butt end of the pistol, which knocked him backwards into the road. Before witness presented the pistol at the prisoner he used the most horrid language, calling him a and swearing that he would cut his -- throat if lie resisted. When witness had struck the prisoner he gal lopped off, and after proceeding between two and three hun dred yards met three policemen whom be immediately ac quainted with the outrage. One of them instantly jumped into the phaeton, and on driving back met the prisoner near the spot where the outrage had been committed, who had evidently just risen from the "(*round, and was coining to wards London. On reaching him they jumped out of the phaeton and secured him, when he feigned drunkenness. Witness had no doubt the prisoner was the Irian who stopped him. His clothes, when he was taken, were covered with mud. The worthy MAGISTRATE said the evidence was conclu sive of his guilt. He was then fully committed for trial at the next Sessions of the Central Criminal Court. He was shortly afterwards removed to Newgate. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A black man named Thomas, who has been long infest ing Billingsgate-market, and for whom nothing is too hot or too heavy, was brought before the LORD• MAYOR, charged by Mr. Goldham, the clerk of the market, with having stolen two pair of soles'. Mr. Goldham stated that the prisoner was the most" out and out" thief in the market, and had but lately been re-' leased from the tread-mill, where he had been dancing for a month for a robbery. The fellow was the more dange rous, as there was always something ludicrous connected with his adventures, and his colour, favoured by the dark ness of the night, enabled him to steal with impunity, when a white man was sure to be detected. On the occasion of the present charge, witness had directed one of his men, upon being told that Tom Crow, as the prisoner was called, was amongst the boats, to chalk his back, and follow the chalk. The prisoner was soon traced to a public-house in Darkhouse-lane, where he was seen pulling two pair of soles out of his breeches. The prisoner had purchased the soles, and was just smell ing them to know if they were good when he was appre hended by the officer. He had never stolen a fish in his life, of late years, though he had been suspected. The LORD MAYOR—Why, I am given to understand that you are a very wicked fellow, Mr. Crow. Tom Crow--Wicked ! We all wicked, massa, except Gor Amighty. ' The LORD MAYOR—You have been at the treadmill ? Toni Crow—Yes, massa, we all ought to be at treadmill, massa—up and down, up and down.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Mr. Goldham says that you are a regular thief, and that your business at the market is merely to steal. Tom Crow— Ah, Massa Goldham know me well ; he's been berry good to me, long time. Mr. Goldham—You remember when you were caught with half a bushel of soles about your body. Tom Crow—Yes, massa, bUt not steal 'em, massa ; only cooked 'em. The LORD MAYOR—Cooked 'ern What do you mean by " cooked 'cm," when they were found upon your person ? Tom Crow—l run about till me was piping hot, and when do stop me de fish was fit to be eat.—(Great laughter.) Mr. Goldham said that the account which the prisoner gave of himself, upon being apprehended on the occasion alluded to, was that those to whom the soles which he had placed next to his skin belonged were unable to pay for cooking in the usual way, and had employed him to make the fish fit for the table by imparting to it the warmth and juices of his own flesh.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—And how often has he been detected phew, and Complainant st a t e d th a t p r i sone r was his ne his father dying when he was very young, he had brought him up, and at the age of 14 took him as an apprentice for seven years. He was now only 19, but, having learnt the business, fancied he could get work on his own account, and without returning with gratitude complainant's kind ness, behaved in a very unruly manner, came in at all hours of the night, and, although he found him in board, cloth ing, and lodging, as specified in the indentures, appropri ated what money he received on witness's account for his own use. On Saturday he received 18s., which sum be never accounted for, and the next morning, being told by the prisoner's grandmother, whom he maintained, that the prisoner had taken away his boxes, he went in search of him, found him, and gave him in charge. Mr. RAWLINSON (to the prisoner)—What have you to say ? Prisoner—Why, I can't give him all I earn ;if I do, whose to keep my wife there ? (pointing to a little fiery faced woman, double his age). Complainant—Wife ! good God, I never knew of that. Woman—(Advancing forward, and taking from her bo som a dirty piece of paper)-01), yes, I am his wife, here's that which will prove as sich. Mr. RAWLINSON looked at the paper, and said it was a marriage certificate, and that the marriage took place the previous day (Sunday) week. Complainant—Then it is the worst day's work he ever did. Mr. RAWLINSON—WeII, what's to be done now; it ap pears they are married ? Complainant—Why, Sir, I must request you to punish him, for his ingratitude is beyond all bounds. The unlucky bridegroom was then sentenced to spend the remainder of his " honeymoon," and a week in addition, in " silent blessedness," at the House of Correction ; but was consoled in his misfortune by his dear Mary, who vowed constancy during his absence, telling him by no means to " droop," but keep up his " pluck" till they met again. LAMBETH-STREET. 'Yesterday Mrs. Miller, a lady residing in the Minories, came before Messrs. ComuEs and HARDwicti, and gave information of the following daring robbery committed in an omnibus :—Mrs. Miller on Saturday evening last got into a Ratcliff omnibus, in Leadenhall-street, and de sired the conductor to put her down at Somerset-house. On reaching Fleet-street she discovered that her gown and petticoat were cut through, and that a netted red silk purse, co&taining tvro, sovereigns and a half, toge ther with seven shillings in silver, was stolen. She (Mrs. Miller) had no doubt the robbery had been ac complished by a fashionably-dressed female who sat to her right, as during the journey she felt her pressing against her, but her appearance was so r ;spectable that she did not for a moment suspect her, and thought her press ing was perfectly accidental. This person, with a gentle manly-looking man, got out of the vehicle on Ludgate-hill, and she bad very little doubt they were in league together. The MAGISTRATES directed Lea to take the matter in hand, and if possible to bring the guilty parties to justice. THAMES- OFFICE. John Barrett, sen., Daniel Gleeson, ballast-getters, Eli zabeth Gleeson, the wife, and Mary Barrett, the daugh ter, were brought before Mr. BRODERIP and MT. CLARK sox, charged with a riot and assault of a serious descrip tion in the house of Mr. Mathew Cockburn, the White Hart, High-street, Shatlwell, who has become obnoxious to some of his Irish customers in consequence of giving evi dence against a fellow who had beaten and exposed a fe male in the tap-room a few days ago, and was fined 5 1. for the offence. The prisoners made a short defence to the charge, com plaining that the waiter was the first aggressor. Mr. BRODERIP should inflict the full penalty on the men, and sentenced them to pay a fine of 5/. each to the King, or be committed for two months ; and the women 40s. each, or be imprisoned for one month. The Magistrate at the same time said the conduct of the men was ferocious and brutal, and if they had taken their trial at the Sessions a severe punishment would have awaited them. Old Barrett immediately paid the fine, and the others subsequently paid the penalties imposed on them. The celebrated race horse Orian was, on Thursday, put on board the Manchester packet at Liverpool, to be conveyed to Virginia. He was purchased, for 3,500 guineas, of Lord Chesterfield, for a company at Virginia, who have, in the last two years, given very large sums for some of the finest horses in this country.

WESTMINSTER PLAY.—The second representation of Terence's Adelphi took place at St. Peter's College last night. The cast was the same as on the former occasion, and the several performers exerted themselves, if possible, with increased effect. We observed several distinguished persons present. The new pantomime at Drury-lane is founded on " A ryght pythy, pleasant, and merie comedic, intytuled Gamier Gurlon's Needle, whych she loses whylst mending her son Hodge's lower garments, and whych, after much searche, great altercation, and vyolenrvillage warrfare, is at length founde stycking in the clothes themselves." This comedy is the oldest in the language ; it was acted in 1575, and written by John Hill, 111. A., who afterwards became Bishop of Bath and Wells. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland intend to remain at Alnwick Castle till after Christmas. The Duke's health is considerably improved. Mr. Roebuck, we hear, is quite recovered from his late indisposition ; he will meet his constituents in January. ~__Bath Journal.

On Tuesday the 6th of December instant, a seizure was made on the goods of Mr. Harper,. a Dissenter, for Church-rates, amounting to 2/. The value of the goods seized was upwards of 10/. No Dudley auctioneer could be found to sell them, and Mr. Morley, of Stourbridge, was sent for. The constable, on Saturday last, informed Mr. his goods would be sold on the Monday fol lowing,arpela r but t t whether in the morning or the evening he did not know ; of that time he was to be informed. The first intimation, however, Mr. Harper had, was the public crier announcin g the sale for ten o'clock on Monday morning ; Even with that short notice upwards of fifty persons assem bled to witness this instance of the Church's tolerance, charity, and love! - The shawls were put up for sale one after another, and not a single bidder could be found. The constable started forth in search of some tool to do the dirty work, but he was unable to find one ; even his friends hung aloof. The constable then fetched his wife, and commanded her to bid fifteen shillings for a shawl worth thirty. It must be recorded to her praise, that she faltered until her husband reiterated his command, when a bidding was made, and the shawl knocked down to her for fift een shillings. A bystander, indignant to see the property so disposed of, bid one shilling more wlilst the hammer was falling, and claimed to be the purchaser.
